Introduction

A Map of the 49 Techniques

Setting High Academic Expectations

No Opt Out

Turn ''I don't know'' into a success by helping students who won't try or can't succeed practice getting it right (and being accountable for trying)

Right Is Right

When you respond to answers in class, hold out for answers that are ''all-the-way right'' or all the way to your standards of rigor

There are four criteria for an effective lesson plan objective: Manageable, Measurable, Made first, and Most important

Post It

Display your lesson objective where everyone can see it and identify your purpose

Shortest Path

In planning lessons, find the most direct and effective route by which students can reach a goal

Double Plan

As you plan a lesson, plan what students will be doing at each point in class

Draw The Map

Consciously design and control the physical environment in which you teach, including seating arrangements

Structuring and Delivering Your Lessons

The Hook

Introduce material to your class in a captivating, inspiring, and exciting way

Name The Steps

Break down complex tasks into steps that form a path for student mastery

Board = Paper

This is a method by which a teacher models and shapes how students should take notes in order to capture information he or she presents

Circulate

Move strategically around the room during all parts of the lesson

Break It Down

When a student makes an error, provide just enough help to allow her to ''solve'' as much of the original problem as she can

Ratio

In some classrooms, teachers do nearly all of the cognitive work. The aim of Ratio is for students to do progressively more of it themselves

Check For Understanding

While you teach, constantly assess what your students understand. Correct misunderstandings as quickly as you can

At Bats

Succeeding twice at a skill won't bring mastery. You get to real mastery on the twentieth iteration. Or the fiftieth. Or the hundredth. Give your students lots of practice in learning and mastering knowledge or skills

Exit Ticket

End each class with an explicit assessment of your objective that you can use to evaluate your (and your students') success

Take A Stand

Get students to exercise their own judgment of their peers' answers. Doing so builds engagement, healthy skepticism, and confidence

Engaging Students in Your Lessons

Cold Call

Call on students regardless of whether they've raised their hands

Call And Response

You ask (call); the class answers in unison (response). Do it to build energetic, positive engagement and to spread the work around the room

Allow students time to process before answering. If they aren't productive with that time, narrate them toward being more productive

Everybody Writes

Prepare your students to engage rigorously by giving them the chance to reflect in writing before you ask them to discuss

Vegas

Vegas is the sparkle, the fun that brings students together while progressing toward your learning objective

Creating a Strong Classroom Culture Strength

Overview to Section 5

The Importance Of Routines

Strong routines are the backbone of an efficient classroom. And students take pride in knowing how to do things the right way. But getting there is easier said than done. Here's what we've learned about the ''how'' for techniques 28 through 35

Entry Routine

Entry Routine is what students do as soon as they enter the classroom. This technique covers how to make it and other routine tasks automatic to free more time for teaching

Do Now

A Do Now is a short activity you have written on the board or placed on students' desks for them to do as soon as they enter the classroom

Tight Transitions

Maximize time and energy for learning by instilling tight routines for transitioning from one class activity to another

Binder Control

Require students' notes to live in a binder that you manage actively and protect from loss, damage, or disorganization
